lfd will report processes, even if they're listed in csf.pignore, if
they're tagged as (deleted) by Linux. This information is provided in
Linux under /proc/PID/exe
A (deleted) process is one that is running a binary that has the inode
for the file removed from the file system directory. This usually
happens when the binary has been replaced due to an upgrade for it by
the OS vendor or another third party (e.g. cPanel). You need to
investigate whether this is indeed the case to be sure that the original
binary has not been replaced by a rootkit.
To stop lfd reporting such process you need to restart the daemon to
which it belongs and therefore run the process using the replacement
binary (presuming one exists). This will normally mean running the
associated script in /etc/init.d/ or systemd
